      Description:

                  Voltage of a resistor is directly proportional to its current. Resistors can show a tolerance which is stated on it.

    • Experiment 2: NETWORKS

      Objective:

                  To investigate what happens when resistors are interconnected in a circuit.

      Apparatus:

                  PSU 0 - 20V  d.c variable

                  Milliameter d.c 0 - 100 mA

                  Voltmeter dc 0-20V

      Description:

                  According to the Kirchhoff’s current law, the algebraic sum of all currents at any junction is zero. According to the Kirchhoff’s voltage law, in a closed circuit, the algebraic sum of the voltages around the circuit is zero.

    • Experiment 3: Thevenin

      Objective:

                  To investigate the effects of more than one voltage source in a network.

      Apparatus:

                  Milliameter dc 0-100 mA

                  Voltmeter dc 0-20V

      Description:

                  In a network that has more than one voltage source; currents at a node can be found by using only one source and making others short at each time. Adding the currents up that are found by the individual sources will give the result as original sources.

    • Experiment 4: Power

      Objective:
